On the day Dave arrived in Japan, we had our first low altitude snowfall for the 2009-2010 winter. When Dave went to Tokyo, they had the biggest snowfall in three years. When Dave came back to Kyoto, we had the biggest amount of snow since we've been here (we moved here in November 2008). So the snow kind of followed Dave around I guess.
We only got one snow accumulation event at our low altitude in the 2008-2009 winter, and that one didn't show up on the roads, only the roof tops and gardens. This time snow was on roads, some where covered more than in these photos. Since it was Sunday I didn't have much time to take photos in the morning because I had to get ready to preach. After church it had all melted.
